Systems analysis and design (SAND) is an evolving field that still represents the point where business and
technology intersects. As discussed in (Bajaj, Batra, Hevner, Parsons, & Siau, 2005), SAND represents
the core of management information systems (MIS) curricula but is underrepresented in the area of MIS
research. The chapters in this book represent the state of the art in several streams that are ongoing in
SAND research is Europe and North America. The chapters in this book are largely taken from presentations
at the 2007 AIS SIG SAND (Association of Information Systems Special Interest Group on SAND)
symposia that are an annual occurrence in both North America and Europe since around 2004. While not
exhaustive, these symposia represent on-going work in several different areas of SAND. As such, the
papers here discuss work ranging from spatio-temporal data modeling to software project management
to user interface generation to empirical evaluation of web based system development methods.
The field of systems analysis and design is experiencing ongoing changes that significantly impact the way information systems are being analyzed and designed in practice.
Systems Analysis and Design for Advanced Modeling Methods: Best Practices collects work representing leading research in the area of systems analysis and design practices and methodologies. This "Premier Reference Source" provides researchers, academicians, and practitioners with a useful overview and related references in the field. |

 High Performance Data Network Design (IDC Technology)The proliferation and complexity of data networks today is challenging our ability to design and manage them effectively. A new generation of Internet, e-commerce, and multimedia applications has changed traditional assumptions on traffic dynamics, and demands tight quality of service and security guarantees. These issues, combined with the... | | Twitter Tips, Tricks, and Tweets
When I wrote the first edition of this book, Twitter was just starting to hit the big time: bemused front
page articles in just about every magazine and newspaper in the land wondered just what this
Twitter thing was all about; the actor Ashton Kutcher (@aplusk) had just cracked the one million
follower mark; and Oprah herself had... | | Harnessing Green IT: Principles and Practices (Wiley - IEEE)
“Ultimately, this is a remarkable book, a practical testimonial, and a comprehensive bibliography rolled into one. It is a single, bright sword cut across the various murky green IT topics. And if my mistakes and lessons learned through the green IT journey are any indication, this book will be used every day by folks interested in... |
Classic Shell ScriptingAn essential skill for Unix users and system administrators, shell scripts let you easily crunch data and automate repetitive tasks, offering a way to quickly harness the full power of any Unix system. This book provides the tips, tricks, and organized knowledge you need to create excellent scripts, as well as warnings of the traps that can... | | Exploring Monte Carlo Methods
Exploring Monte Carlo Methods is a basic text that describes the numerical methods that have come to be known as "Monte Carlo." The book treats the subject generically through the first eight chapters and, thus, should be of use to anyone who wants to learn to use Monte Carlo. The next two chapters focus on applications in nuclear... | | Software Development: Case Studies in Java
In order to be able to write good software, students will need to be familiar with a range of techniques; good programming practice, experience of problem solving, familiarity with development methodologies, and knowledge of software processes. This book takes a new approach to the teaching of software development. Using a collection of case... |
